Potential biochemical indicators of salinity tolerance in plants
Muhammad Ashraf,P.J.C. Harris +1 more
TLDR
It is concluded that although there are a number of promising selection criteria, the complex physiology of salt tolerance and the variation between species make it difficult to identify single criteria.About:

Roles of glycine betaine and proline in improving plant abiotic stress resistance
Muhammad Ashraf,Majid R. Foolad +1 more
TL;DR: In this review article, numerous examples of successful application of these compounds to improve plant stress tolerance are presented and a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of exogenously applied GB and proline is expected to aid their effective utilization in crop production in stress environments.

TL;DR: This new handbook has a better balance between whole-plant traits, leaf traits, root and stem traits and regenerative traits, and puts particular emphasis on traits important for predicting species’ effects on key ecosystem properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of proline under changing environments: a review.
TL;DR: Review of the literature indicates that a stressful environment results in an overproduction of proline in plants which in turn imparts stress tolerance by maintaining cell turgor or osmotic balance; stabilizing membranes thereby preventing electrolyte leakage; and bringing concentrations of reactive oxygen species within normal ranges, thus preventing oxidative burst in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
The significance of amino acids and amino acid-derived molecules in plant responses and adaptation to heavy metal stress
TL;DR: This review deals with N-containing metabolites frequently preferentially synthesized under heavy metal stress such as Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn, with special focus on proline and certain other amino acids and oligopeptides, as well as betaine, polyamines, and nicotianamine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biotechnological approach of improving plant salt tolerance using antioxidants as markers.
TL;DR: The role of different antioxidants as potential selection criteria for improving plant salt tolerance has been critically discussed and the potential of this approach in counteracting stress-induced oxidative stress has been discussed at length in this review.

Comparative physiology of salt and water stress
TL;DR: It is important to avoid treatments that induce cell plasmolysis, and to design experiments that distinguish between tolerance of salt and tolerance of water stress, to understand the processes that give rise toolerance of salt, as distinct from tolerance of osmotic stress.

Responses of plants to environmental stresses
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the responses of plants to environmental stresses and found that plants respond to environmental stress in response to various types of stressors, such as drought and flooding.
